The two bikes mark the the firm’s re-entry into motorcycle segment, while more products on the similar lines are being lined up for future.

Mahindra has introduced quite a few first-in-segment features in both motorcycles such as a fully digital instrument console, LED pilot and tail lamps. The Pantero is essentially a thoroughly re-engineered Stallio that addresses the needs of functional segmentation while the Centuro is a newly designed motorcycle which satisfies people looking for style.
